A man trying to enter an Alabama elementary school is shot and killed by a school resource officerA man was shot and killed by a police officer outside of an Alabama elementary school Thursday afternoon after an altercation with a school resource officer, Etowah County Sheriff Jonathan Horton said during a news conference. You know why he was killed outside? BECAUSE THE DOORS WERE LOCKED If it was a father of a child... It is at least tragic, especially since there was no communication, I could not read anything, whether there was a danger. But there was only a altercation.... Funny how protecting our children (with a good person with a gun) in the same way that we protect our money at a bank, the Treasury, a jewelry store, Senators and Congressmen and politicians and elected officials (which WE PAY FOR BY OUR TAXES) works!

A man allegedly trying to enter an Alabama elementary school is shot and killed by policeA man was shot and killed by a police officer outside of an Alabama elementary school Thursday afternoon after an altercation with a school resource officer, Etowah County Sheriff Jonathan Horton said during a news conference. Police just can't get things right. This guy was unarmed. So once again the cops fuck up. People were pissed nothing happened in Uvalde. These officers took action today and they’re being questioned for it. That man shouldn’t have been near a school trying to break into anything. The kids were protected, that’s what matters. Sad.
